'8 - Week Two

Business: Calls about doing wedding here this summer. Gabi is writing up a new contract and we are working out all the details to how it will all work out. Did a lot of cleaning. Trying to figure out a way to have another shower in the house. There has got to be a way. I guess I just need to think more. Updated the webpage. I plan on some big changes soon. The page still feels a little low-tech for me.

Dreams:I had a dream about writing a Novel, so guess what I decided that I should. I've been having long vivid dream. Not, that I'm complaining, I just hope they go away, or come earlier in the night when spring gets here.

Health: I've been feeling fine. My energy levels are lower then I like, but that is typical of this crazy warm weather spells in the middle of winter. I hate it when it's warm and it should be cold out. My body likes it one way, and bam nature fucks that up.

World:I read this really sad, but inspiring blog the other day. I think I will add it to my blog; it's from an Army Major who was killed in Iraq. I would have loved to read his blog live, he seemed like just one of those cool people in the world.

Personal life:Same old Same old!!!

Travel:NONE

Till next week guys!!!

This spring, {2013} we plan to add Bees to our sustainable farm project. Like most of our project we are trying to do as much research before we get our creature. At the moment I’m trying to figure out if I want to get a Top Bar Hive or a Warré Hive. Let’s begin with some of the research I’ve done.

Let's take a step back and look at the way honeybees live in the wild. Most feral honeybees prefer to nest in hollow trees. That means they are quite well insulated from the elements, with thick wooden walls on the sides.

Nest chambers of wild bees are vertically elongated cylinders with a capacity of about 8 to 16 gallons. The deep brood box that most Langstroth hives begin with has a capacity of about 11 gallons, and beekeepers generally add on at least one more deep brood box or two shallow supers. That makes the wild bee hives sound small, but keep in mind that wild bees don't sock away as much honey as we ask our bees to. Instead, they swarm as soon as conditions in the h…

With Spring just around the corner, I though we should start talking about chickens. I want to begin with some very simple plans for building chicken tractors.

What is a chicken tractor? a movable chicken enclosure to allow the chicken to do their natural chicken activities, scratch, dirt bath, solar panel ( where they lay on their side spread out a wing, and absorb the sun's rays ). What's great about chicken tractors is how you can use them to mow your lawn. It might take a month, but chicken are awesome at chewing down grass.
Here is a great basic plan to begin with.
One square (10 by 10 feet) of weather boarding
Frame for chicken coop and run (above).
6 inches wide, for covering in the coop.
44 feet of 4 by 1, for base and ridge.
56 feet of 3 by 1, for eight rafters.
28 feet of 3 by 1-1/2, for four rafters.
50 feet of 2 by 1-1/2, for door frames and doors.
6 feet of 2 by 2, for tie T.
45 feet of 2-foot hardware cloth.
Two pairs of hinges; two locks; staples, e…

For way to long the great people of this world have been wondering this very question, tonight my friends it’s time for it to be answered!

So, go pour you’re self a large bowl of cereal, and come back for this grand story.

The story begins a long time ago, in an age when things were simple. A time most of us have forgotten, or at least a time most of us can’t remember anymore. This is mainly due to the endless 24 hour TV. I know, I know who I’m I to dis TV. This magical box of lights and sounds. Ahh.. Just try to walk past a TV and not look, just try. But, this not the part of the story I want to get into tonight, we will save that story for another bowl of cereal.

Sally being a smart girl, who loved the seashore understood, that a lot of kids weren’t allowed to play near the ocean, their land loving parent thought in the olden days that Shark were dangerous creature that could come ashore and eat you. And eat you dead. Galeophobia is what it’…
